Jesper W 15 Years Ago ...and what about File Upload support? Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Alberto Montero Jesper W 15 Years Ago Hi.The information stored in the database is only accessible through the export function, so importing data (which I suppose it is what you mean by File Upload) will only store it the db, but no further processing will be available.It will be interesting, however, if we decide to support some kind of processing of form fields (i.e. generating reports or allowing search throw fields). Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Jesper W Alberto Montero 15 Years Ago The reason I asked is we have implemented this on our site, but it was a little bit of a hack because we did it half a year ago when the upload object was difficult to use. Lots of people request the ability to upload a file (for example an image or something) in a form post, so if the forms are being worked on this would be a nice addition... Please sign in to reply.

Sean Wright 15 Years Ago Might I also suggest adding a date field with a date picker? Also, having a masked field which is evaluated through a user-defined regular expression would be a neat addition and I don't think it would be that difficult to add.Finally, how about implementing some sort of templating for multi-column formatting? (Could we even see a visual tool to place fields on the form, in the way portlets are positioned on a page?)Thanks,Sean Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Alberto Montero Sean Wright 15 Years Ago The date picker is a nice add-on.And about the mask addition we are thinking about a more ambitious idea. Stay tuned.Regarding the multi-column formatter, we had not considered it, but it is always good to get new ideas.Alberto Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel

David Aaron Lucas 15 Years Ago How about a time date stamp field so that and admin can determine when the result was published? Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Alberto Montero David Aaron Lucas 15 Years Ago Hi David.It could be a good feature. And it can be extended to any portlet so you can have information about the last configuration change.If you have experience and time to develop that it could be included in the main stream.Alberto Please sign in to reply.

Thomas Kellerer 14 Years Ago I think a real cool enhancement would be if the user could upload his own HTML form that is then used by the portlet. This would give a lot more freedom in designing the form without the hassle to create complete portlet just to have my custom one. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel coffy_ sk Thomas Kellerer 14 Years Ago What about redundancy of success/error messages in portlet? I use Liferay 5.1.2 and after successful sending of form or not filling out every mandatory field the user see 2 messages. One pair of messages is from portlet implementation and one is generic portlet messages: your-request-processed-successfully and you-have-entered-invalid-data. It's not good from user experience perspective. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel
